Last Day of School

Carter's school year has officially ended. We enjoyed the last day of school playing outside and enjoying a hot dog party. The day started off sunny making it perfect to spend the first half of our party playing on the Noah's Ark and other playground toys.
The kids enjoy sliding down the pole in the center of the Ark as Miss Jackie waits below to catch them. Carter was a little unsure of the pole at first but really enjoyed himself after sliding down about 50 times....Miss Jackie was busy!

Jacob and Carter poke their heads out of one of the Ark's windows. After this picture the boys happily started a chorus of "you scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!"

Mrs. McAtee rallies the class onto the top of slide and prepares them for "blastoff"!

It is amazing how still and quiet the children are when waiting for a snack time. This is Carter's class plus some siblings as they get ready to sing their prayer song.

Carter enjoys his chocolate chip ice cream sandwich. He also had two hot dogs and a cupcake. Guess that's what happens when you sleep in and skip breakfast.

Carter says good-bye and wishes Mrs. McAtee a Happy Summer!

This past weekend Carter and I worked on painting pots for his teachers, Miss Eileen (the secretary who readily hands out lollipops at the end of each class) and Mrs. Simms (the pre-school director)...we then picked out flowers and planted them. He was very proud of his special project and the pots looked so cute. Carter excitedly distributed the pots and relished in the compliments he received for his hard work but as the class time wore on he became sad and had a really hard time saying good-bye to his teachers....however....the promise of summer visits to both Miss Jackie and Mrs. McAtee's homes seemed to perk him up. If he only knew how quickly summer will fly by................

On to our new adventures!
